colorado masks required

 

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis issued a statewide mask mandate Thursday, following days of pressure from his fellow Democrats to make the move.

 

Polis announced at a news conference that he had issued an executive order requiring everyone 11 and older to wear a mask or other facial covering while in public indoor spaces, including all retail stores. The order is effective at midnight and runs for at least the next 30 days.

 

“Look, in Colorado, there’s no shirt, no shoes, no mask, no service,” Polis said. “Very simple.”

 

The governor’s order follows four straight weeks of rising COVID-19 cases in Colorado, including a 40% increase last week, according to state health officials. Hospitalizations for the coronavirus also are increasing, and state epidemiologist Rachel Herlihy said that current trends could mean Colorado’s ICU bed capacity will be exceeded in September.

 

“The data is beginning to be alarming,” Polis said.
